Pilates & Therapeutic Movement Classes

Kick your own literal and proverbial bootie!  We focus on the old school Pilates principle of doing very few repetitions with proper alignment and joint mechanics. We integrate myofascial release, using balls & rollers, with exercises to build strength, stability and articulation, using Pilates reformers and springboards or just your body and your mat! We develop from a strong base in neutral spine outwards towards three-dimensional movement. Just FYI, this is not the boot camp style Pilates that's got a trend going… In this careful, anatomy-laden approach, we integrate Pilates with principles from Hendrickson method and little secrets from Noguchi, yoga and dance as needed. We will work our booties off, just very very precisely! 

These classes are great to restore proper length/flexibilty of soft tissues and articulation of the spine, improve core stability and balance, and restore strength and proper joint mechanics throughout the body. You'll also learn some nerdy bits of anatomy and generally become more of a bad ass!

  • 8-14 week class series offered consecutively throughout the year, usually with a week or two break between one series and the next. Weekly classes are offered on Zoom… see current calendar. Longer classes, aka workshops, are offered in-person.

  • Small classes, usually 4-12 people, offer individualized attention.

  • LEVELS are approximate…. I will always teach whoever is in the room!

  • REGISTRATION, DROP-INS & MAKE-UPS: Please register for your "home" class.  If you need to miss class, please give me a heads up and you'll be welcome to do a make-up lesson in another class (ideally in the same week).  One to two make-ups allowed per series. If you need more, it is by special arrangement only. If you want to take additional classes in any given week, you can take them at the class rate you are currently paying.  If you are only able to be a drop-in student, please talk with me.

  • PRE-REQUISITES & SAFETY: I ask for 1-3 private lessons for me to become familiar with you and any injuries you’re taking care with and to help you to become familiar with my teaching to work safely in class. ALWAYS please take extra care not to do movements in class that cause discomfort and please, please let me know… There is always another option and if it doesn’t exist yet, I’ll make it up for you on the spot.
